I’ll check it out. I’ve tried freeze and thaw and it came close but not quite. I think I’m asking Santa for a tofu press for Xmas tho because right now I’m using a few plates and cans of veggies or my bullet mixer for a weight and it’s not quite working lol.

I have a newfound level of hatred for this man after season 1 of Blowback.

I’m gonna watch this when I get a chance. Probably won’t have time today. But thanks. I really wanna get my tofu game down. It’s always mush when I’m done with it lol.

I’ll have to look into a used oil and a dredge Tupperware solution. I never really thought I’d be a tofu person in the first place but it’s just so cheap.

I can try this! With the bread crumbs I bet it would work great with sauces and such. Dang now I wanna do sweet and sour tofu lol.

Will do. When I’ve done corn starch in the past, the recipes all said to toss it ina bag with the tofu and spices and let it set. I can try marinade and toss right before for sure.

I’ve tried air frying and it gets a bit of the texture on the outside but it’s still softer than my liking in the inside. I don’t have access to a deep fryer so I can’t try to that way.

Gonna def try this. Thanks!

I’m slowly navigating life after becoming vegan and this hasn’t been true all the time for me but when it is, it fucking hits hard.

My chili recipe was converted to vegan early on after I came over and you can’t fucking tell it’s vegan. I’ve said before on reddit but I will put it up against anyone’s “prize winning chili recipe”.

I made sloppy joe’s last week with TVP and day one was ok but when it came time for the leftovers, you woundn’t have know it was vegan. To me, it was exactly like the slop I grew up with.

I’m still trying to master tofu. I can’t get it at all like my favorite Thai place does it.

I’ve been working a bit with the soy curls and “beef slices” you can find from Asian stores and it’s been hit and miss with trying to get it right but a few weeks ago I made a mushroom, spinach linguine using the slices and it fucking slapped. I hydrated the slices with veggie broth and some spices and then sauteed them in a pan with my shrooms and spinach and tossed the pasta in at the end and sort of winged it but it was really fucking good.

Another thing that I think needs to be mentioned is that most meat subs are like half the cost of the animal counterpart. Beyond and manufactured seitan obviously isn’t but any of the soy products I’ve tried are. You also get the same or more protein with the substitutes.

Last time I had a convo where compromise was brought up it was over minimum wage. Dude said that “both sides just need to compromise on it.” And I was like you know that that compromise is somewhere between an actual living wage and literally $0, right?
